Synopsis

Bangladesh is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. Among different disasters, the flood is one of the most threatening disasters for Bangladesh as it causes damage to people and their properties frequently covering most of Bangladesh. Though flood affects almost every part of the country, but intensity and frequency of flood vary from region to region. Sirajganj is one of the most flood vulnerable districts of the country. To prevent flood and reduce flood damage effects, both structural and non-structural measures are practiced here. But these measures are not sufficient for effective flood management. At both the regional and local levels, the existing flood management measures have serious weaknesses. To prevent frequent flood attacks, reduce damages, and save people from sufferings of flood, the major weaknesses in flood management at both the regional and local levels have to be addressed and necessary steps must be taken on an emergency basis. It is imperative that planning applications are rationally made to achieve more sustainable flood control and management system at regional and local levels for Sirajganj district.
